Under the Sea, Under the Sea...

Now I have one of the songs from the Little Mermaid running through my head LOL!
That is my all time favorite Disney movie.

As soon as an Under the Sea swap was mentioned on a yahoo group I'm in, I couldn't wait to join. I just had to dust off my dolphin stamp. I love dolphins but don't have many opportunities to stamp them.

I thought this turned out pretty good considering I started it without a plan. The stamps are PSX and I bought them years ago at one of the craft stores. The patterned paper is more from the DCWV Summer stack. I stamped the shell stamp with Versamark and the main image with CTMH Grey Wool. I also shaded the background of the dolphins with my Sky Blue Light prismacolor pencil. They had to be under water :)

TFL! And stay tuned for more artwork tomorrow, I have to get some Christmas in July stuff done! For now I must go to sleep!

C is for....

Cat! Isn't Fluffles adorable? I've stamped a bunch of images of him for others, but this is the first card I've made with him.

Background was done with the Stylized Flower Cuttlebug folder. The accent flowers were cut from DCWV Summer stack paper. What a pain but I think they look great! Another favorite tool of mine are the Marvy Scallop punches, couldn't resist using them with this stamp. The image was colored with my prismacolor pencils.

TFL!

Can a Skunk be Sweet?

I certainly think so!

I just made 2 of these cute cards - one is for an Animal Lovers swap and the other is for a rose swap. The stamps are from The Angel Company. I just love how nicely they stamp! The paper is from DCWV (surprise, surprise), its from an old stack. I used Marvy markers to color the flowers and then accented them with Ranger Glossy Accents. Oh! And I brought out my dust collecting Cuttlebug to emboss the background. I need to start using it more!

TFL!

How sweet it is....

I created this card for a Sweet Swap, isn't it scrumptious?

The stamps are from Pink Cat Studios Sweet Treats set. I can't wait to try out all the other yummy stuff in this set. The paper is from Die Cuts with a View Summer Stack. I just love these stacks, I can always find the perfect paper for whatever I am working on. I colored the image using my prismacolor pencils and then accented with Xmas Red stickles and Ranger Glossy Accents, my 2 favorite things to use lately!

TFL!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy Independence Day!
I am spending the day hanging out and taking it easy. After all the excitement of last weekend, its nice to lay low!

Here are a few halfway decent fireworks shots from the West Haven fireworks last night. My camera has a severe delay and it wasn't making me very happy last night. I think next year I will pull out my old film camera, I think that was the only time I got scrap-worthy fireworks pictures!

The Scruds take Boston by storm!

Every year, I meet up with a great group of friends to scrapbook, eat, talk, shop and explore whatever city we are in or near. This year we went to Boston. Oh what fun was had! We wore ducky hats all over the city. Ate great Yankee food, pastries, burgers and more. The duck boat tour was very cool. I got 12 pages done for Grace's album and bought some cool new paper and stamps to play with.

We started Boston off by getting off the T and walking to Fanueil Hall.

We had lunch at Durgin Park. Ate a yummy thankgiving on a roll sandwich. Then we walked over to the pastry store...YUM! Had a piece of Italian Rum Cake. No picture...sorry....dug right into it!
Got to take a picture with the hot Abercrombie model in Fanueil Hall...sadly, the girls wouldn't let me take him home LOL!

There was a bridal party walking around taking pictures and they took one with the hot guy too and then we wanted to take a picture with them. Even the wedding photographer took our picture so we will be in some couple's wedding album!

Here are the boats we took for the tour. It started at the Museum of Science.


We ended our night at Cheers. It was so fun! We have a picture of us in our duck hats with the jazz singer that was performing. We were quite the hit around town with our hats. It was so much fun to make people smile and laugh.

Here is our group picture...thanks for a great weekend girls! Can't wait to see where we end up next year!
